The terror boss can be seen in the harrowing footage nervously playing with his hands and staring down at the floor when told the news before carrying on with his day as usual.

Multiple puppies.
_____________
While Her Majesty was recently bedridden recovering from her knee replacement I would bring a puppy to visit for cuddle time with Mommy.
One night, I was bringing them all into their pen from outside when they got through the barrier. Five little monsters made a mass attack, leaping on the bed, kissing Mommy and trying to burrow next to her.
Total chaos as she tried to protect her leg and I had to haul them off one at a time. I needed oxygen afterwards.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said Wednesday three of his sons and four grandchildren were killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza, where war has raged for more ... [more bullshit from AFP]
Non-bullshit version:
Israel Defense Forces @IDF
IAF aircraft struck Amir Haniyeh, a cell commander in the Hamas military wing, and Mohammad and Hazem Haniyeh, both Hamas military operatives, in central Gaza today.
The IDF confirms that the 3 operatives are the sons of Ismail Haniyeh, the chairman of Hamas' political bureau.

I am on my third ICD battery (an ICD is a pacemaker with defibrillator paddles). Replacing a battery is less work than implanting the device in the first place. Not even an overnight stay for a battery replacement.
Replacing the whole pacemaker should be the reverse of the initial implant. I'd think you'd be in overnight for that.

**********
Typically, modern pacemakers will self-monitor battery status and will revert to an energy saving mode ass the battery nears the end of its functional battery capacity. The monitoring facility or cardiologist's office can detect this and take steps to schedule a replacement in plenty of time. Typically the pacemaker is tucked under the skin and pectoral muscle in the upper chest and the wires connecting it to the heart run through the subclavian vein to the inside wall of the heart. For a failing battery the wires usually will be functioning just fine and it is fairly straightforward to just open the pocket, remove the old pacer, attach the wires to the new pacemaker and put it back in the pocket. They don't change the battery (they are built in). They just exchange the whole pacemaker. A new pacemaker of current vintage will have many more programmable features than one inserted 10-15 years ago.
Good luck!

Reminds me of a true story from back in the day. I had a teenage patient with a dysrhythmia who was being monitored on a telemetry bed in hospital. One night the nursing station monitor alarmed for a rapid and irregular heartbeat. The staff responded to the kid's room and found him in the bathroom masturbating enthusiastically.
They did not deliver a defibrillating shock. And I hope the story had a happy ending...

Build your shake from that, and quality ingredients and a skilled Soda Jerk, and you'll be served with a delicious work of art.
Moreover, not only do you get a nice Parfait Glass full of chocolaty goodness, but that stainless mixing cup you get along the Parfait Glass, contains enough *extra* shake, to refill said glass 2.5 times over.

He's very excited, and it's giving him something to look forward to. When I had Pookette, it was between deployments (the pregnancy was too), so he's experiencing a lot of stuff for the first time.

Dude is probably thinking he dodged a serious bullet today. Maybe he is having a come to Jesus moment.
Idk. I am not sure these kind of evil people think beyond their hatred, which consumes them. Are they even capable of love, real love, for even their families? I kinda doubt it. Everything is a means to an end for them. And they are driven by hatred, and greed, and evil.
Just my two cents.

You see, his three sons being gifted with Instant Martyrdom is, for him, the Best Possible Outcome, both for his sons, but for the piety of HIS offering to his misbegotten moon gawd.
They, by now, whill have had a Big Huge FEAST with lots of lululululing and dramatic paid mourners and all the rigamarole that goes with a "bury 'em by sundown" hurried burial.

I spent some time in the hospital recently and the first night the alarm on the EKG kept going off because my heart rate went below 50 when I was deep in sleep. So they cranked it down a couple of times and I still set it off. the nurses were a little concerned but apparently my other signs were fine.
The second night I got better sleep because they turned the volume down on the alarm instead.
apparently I don't so much sleep as hibernate.

There are too many country club RINO Republicans as they won't state what this is: A commie coup, or at least a solid attempted coup. I think it's a coup thanks to all the new 'illegal immigrant' voters the Dems allowed in.
But we are in a worldwide communist coup attempt, hating on those who actually produce, like farmers, and loving on those who do not, like holders of college ethnic lesbian and climate change poetry degrees who block traffic as they protest the use of oil, wearing all kinds of attire made of oil, of course. The COVID-1984 Dempanic was another 'X' on the totalitarian BINGO card.
Commies go after the family. Check.
Commies go after the Christian religion. Check.
Commies take over education/indoctrination. Check.
Commies take over health care. Check.

Missouri executed a man last night (caucasian) for the double murder of his cousin & her husband.
ALL the press coverage I saw quoted people talking about how he'd rehabilitated himself in prison; how 5 of the jurors* who recommended the DP now said they've changed their minds; how his original attys' fees were capped at $12000 each, thereby leading to ineffective assistance of counsel.
NONE of the press coverage I saw mentioned that he had raped the female victim before killing her with a shotgun, or that the murdered couple's 4-yr-old child was present.
* there should be a special place in hell for people who contact jurors after the fact.

If you're wearing a pacemaker, climbing a flight of stairs can wind you. I've lost around 85 pounds over two years, feel pretty good even with a heart operating at 50% power, yet stairs still kill me.
For me, the best thing is to walk up gradual inclines. Nothing too steep. Just enough resistance to make the legs work a little bit. Walking a couple of miles every couple of days is also really good. The only way to climb stairs is to get your wind back. The only way to get your wind back is to walk longer and longer distances. (Can't recommend jogging with a pacemaker.)

As a consequence of an awkwardly botched delivery by the imperial physician, who tore the infant Wilhelm's left brachial plexus, resulting in Erb's Palsy. Poor little guy was left with a left arm six inches shorter than the right. I wish I could say that Erb's Palsy is a rare condition that modern Medicine has brought to book, but the truth is that it's still out there and virtually every case is tied to a faulty delivery by an obstetrician.

Will the Russians use a new BIC for ignition? Actually I don't know what they use. Usually it's a pyrophoric organo-metallic or organo-boron compound that spontaneously combusts when it meets oxygen. They are fun to measure out in the lab when needed in a reaction. Ask me how I know.

Commodity Pricing usually pays off.
Plus, places like Big Lots, Dollar General, Family Dollar, also usually have at least, oils, on the shelves. No filters but your two quarts would be a lot cheaper, there.
Don't buy generic oil filters though. Not going to type a treatise on it, but OEM and Premium aftermarket filters often have check-valve, oil-bypass, pressure related safety features that the white box ones will lack.
Comes to saving your engine, saving $4 just doesn't make sense to get the un-safe cheapola cans.

Recovery is going good. At this point its almost a distant memory. There is still a little soreness in the chest depending on what I'm doing, but I haven't exactly been taking it easy. I'm pretty much back to my usual routine. I'll say one thing, I feel like I'm 20 again, so they really did rebuild me. I do the cardiac rehab 3 times a week. It was optional for me because I healed fast, but I decided to go anyway. Its a joke really. I set the machines a little on the heavy side and just go. I can be on the bike or treadmill forever and don't even break a sweat, and no shortness of breath at all. It definitely wasn't that way before.

Three hours and 57 minutes, three different people. First one didn't handle business accounts. Second person got it, understood what the issue was but couldn't fix it because it was a collection issue. Collection person seemed thoroughly disinterested but is supposed to call back at a later date with a resolution. It's not my issue it's a family member. Since I am not a paid preparer nor have POA, I fibbed and told them I was the family member. It's an IRS mistake. 2 years ago they tied a different EIN to his name and that asshat owes PR tax$. We've written multiple letters and called at 5 times. Odds of getting a call back are small. They were threatening to lien his bank account. The IRS is broken and staffed by poorly trained, for the most part, nimrods.

I feel 20 again, I got pulled from the grave, I'm happier than a pig in shit. But....I see some of the dudes in the rehab, and they look like they're begging for a bullet. I doubt they are the same. There is a 78 year old dude in the rehab, and he has the same attitude as me, and he had the same observation about the others. If anything I became the even older berserker of my youth.

I retired from my profession at 52. I realized I was nonexistent in my wife and youngest kids life. I was basically a boarder in my own house. I spent the next 6 years as a custodian at the local school. Had a blast there. I would have a bigger retirement account if I had continued. I might also be dead. I would do it over again in a heartbeat.

Amen. I had a choice of slogging along for a few more years or bailing out early. Not once have I regretted the choice to retire early. In the early years I wasn't sure how I was going to make it fly but everything worked out in the end including my choice to move to New Mexico. In hindsight it was like stepping of a cliff edge into thin air and discovering the air is thick. And now 8 years later I am about become the owner of a fucking moped with 17" wheels.

My way of thinking about your close call and how it impacted you is at some point we get a mulligan in life be that through a life changing event or simply reaching a point in life where you realize this is it. My mulligan was the second type and it was liberating. I think you nailed it: at times I feel like I a bit wiser version of my younger self. I was recently selected to one of the presenting writers at the annual Lit Fest here in Cruces; that mulligan gave me the space and clarity to chase that side of me just as much as the CT125 is going to get me out in the landscape where I plan to spend many days pursing my photography. You got it spot on: you are most certainly never done as long as you stay young; many don't as you saw.

I'd hope you won't desert pimpify your 125. Leave it closer to stock, maybe.
What weight you put ON it, should be the auxiliary fuel tank (looks like a circular canteen), cargo rack, requisite Milk Crate cargo carrier and (pro tip), desert racer handgrip shields / guards.
You want a Skill, use a DECAL.
If you were buying an '81 Trail 110, I'd not give a damn about the Desert Pimpifications. But, you've just ordered a NEW BIKE.
It. Deserves. BETTER.

First bike that was MINE, was a Hodaka Ace 100, (very VERY much USED). Footpegs were a length of rebar, crossways athwart the frame.
Motorcycles at age 10 and 13, I thnik were like the first airplanes to the early aviators.
They gave us WINGS.

Mike - that could be a kick-ass mission statement, or a superb corporate slogan. The President of Argentina might appropriate it, given his campaign slogan.

My first bike was a Hodaka Super Rat 100. Many hours of thrills with only one broken wrist and a broken nose given in payment.

I am joking around a lot about pimping out the CT 125 because it is kind of hilarious to think of it as death on two wheels. The mods that are coming is a box on the back so I can haul camera and unexpected night in the desert gear when I am out in the surprisingly remote areas just outside of Las Cruces. After that will be a USB port, some extra fuel, some handguards for sure, and a bar between the handle bars so I can mount Garmin map/emergency satellite device. I have to learn the bike and what I need through experience before I start tossing money at it. For the most part is going to stay stock because I can't out engineer Honda. Well, unless I get all sideways in a year or so for a big bore kit

A Trail 125 IS a Big Bore Kit.
You've got the dual range gearbox? THAT is your "big bore kit".
Outside of a Rokon Trail Breaker, you've got one of the finest low speed rock crawling bikes, ever made.
When and only IF you exceed it's abilities, maybe then work to tweak the bike. Otherwise, learn to embrace what it can do, and it'll be your FRIEND.

Know what I don't feel safe with?
ANY loaded gun. Guns are supposed to be dangerous, and are. Follow all the precautions, especially the Four Rules!
ANY motorcycle. Even if it's the size of a Class A RV.
Bumper Sticker: "Remember when Sex was Safe and Motorcycles were Dangerous?"
Motorcycles, were always, are, and shall always remain...DANGEROUS.
That said, gimme a 2012 to 2017 Gold Wing. Properly set up, I know what to do on those.
The 2019 and newer is a Barely Wing. More of an ST-1800, to be sure. Honday sure screwed the pooch, on those.

Honda for some reason got rid of the dual range on CT 125. I almost thought I would go hunting for a 110 that has that. In the end I decided I would accept that deficiency because I get to be out put-putting around instead of rebuilding a bike. Mostly likely twice because I have knack doing things wrong the first time. Then there is the reality that I am an age where, if the CT 125 can't get me somewhere I really shouldn't be there no matter how much I should be there. Reality, from time to time, must be accepted.
I grew riding into the ground a two sprocket Trial 90. Once that big sprocket was on the bike it would go anywhere and we did. It was a magnificent machine. These small bikes are not for most riders, but for us, the touched in the head, they are a hoot.

I'd almost forgotten about the Two Sprocket 90
Thanks for the reminder.
And I think the Trail 110 with the Dual Range, was the best of the best.

Recovery is going good. At this point its almost a distant memory. There is still a little soreness in the chest depending on what I'm doing, but I haven't exactly been taking it easy. I'm pretty much back to my usual routine. I'll say one thing, I feel like I'm 20 again, so they really did rebuild me. I do the cardiac rehab 3 times a week. It was optional for me because I healed fast, but I decided to go anyway. Its a joke really. I set the machines a little on the heavy side and just go. I can be on the bike or treadmill forever and don't even break a sweat, and no shortness of breath at all. It definitely wasn't that way before.

You can be the water, or you can be the rocks, but you can't be the entire river, and if you try you'll just make yourself and everyone around you miserable.
And when i am fully awake, i can probably join you in saying that that's a bunch of nonsense.

Commodity Pricing usually pays off.
Plus, places like Big Lots, Dollar General, Family Dollar, also usually have at least, oils, on the shelves. No filters but your two quarts would be a lot cheaper, there.
Don't buy generic oil filters though. Not going to type a treatise on it, but OEM and Premium aftermarket filters often have check-valve, oil-bypass, pressure related safety features that the white box ones will lack.
Comes to saving your engine, saving $4 just doesn't make sense to get the un-safe cheapola cans.

Exactly. As long as the oil has the current specification, SP I think it is now, and is the right weight for your engine, you can't go wrong with any major brand.
